Following are eight fantastic freebies you can grab in May.
Free T-Shirt at Moe’s — May 5

Free day at a public garden — May 12
Many U.S. cities maintain public garden areas where people can enjoy a day walking among flowers and other plants. Plan a springtime stroll through a public garden on May 12 — National Public Gardens Day — to enjoy coupons and free special events.

- Glucose levels
- Cholesterol levels
- Blood pressure
- Vision
- Hearing

Free pie for Mom — May 14
She brought you into the world, so the least you can do to express your thanks is to treat Mom to a little free pie on Mother’s Day. Stop by Shoney’s on May 14, and Mom can get a free slice of strawberry pie. As with any of these deals, call ahead to your local restaurant to make sure it’s participating in the promotion.
Free book for kids at Barnes & Noble — beginning May 16
Turn your kiddo into a bibliophile — that means “book lover,” folks — by having him or her participate in the Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program.
Children in grades one through six are asked to read eight books over the summer and to use a Summer Reading Journal from Barnes & Noble to write about their favorite part of each book.
Once the journal is complete, your child can bring it to a Barnes & Noble store any time between May 16 and Sept. 5 to collect a free book from the list of choices on the back of the journal.
